The Listowel & Ballybunion locos were generally regarded as being 0-3-0s, as were the PSMT locos as you say, although they have been described as '0-3-0(+1)' for the outrigger wheel. <br /> <br />In fact there WAS an 0-2-0 that ran for a couple of years on the 'Festival of Britain' miniature railway at Battersea Gardens, London, in the early 50s. It was the creation of that great cartoonist, whose work is I think known in America, Roland Emmett. Needless to say, much of the loco weight was taken on the tender (which contained the petrol or diesel motor), which made the loco, in effect, a pony truck for the tender. <br />The whole railway was a total flight of fancy, and bore little resemblance to anything that ever steamed, but it ran, I seem to recall, from 1951 to 1954, and I have a hazy remembrance of seeing and travelling on it. I think it was of 15" gauge.
